Here are some pictures of the case I designed to protect my new Ft-8100 from thieves. This box is mounted to a steel plate under the dash in front of the passenger seat in my car. The outside covering is mounted permanently while the radio can be easily removed. If you need more information on how to make this type of protection for your radio e-mail me.
